How a Project Works

1

Estimating

From your initial call, BHI will evaluate your needs and work closely with you in cultivating the best and most cost effective solution for your project. A BHI representative will meet with you to discuss what options and modifications best suit your needs. In this highly competitive trade, it is essential that we be methodical and accurate on every proposal we submit.

2

Contract

We carefully review the specification of each undertaking and then provide our recommendation for materials and any other distinctive needs that may be required. Our estimators use the latest computer software to provide our customers with a precise and viable estimate for each project. A clearly written proposal will then be presented for your approval.

3

Design

BHI’s design and engineering department is a key component in the refinement that brings a project from design intent to reality. We have a professional, experienced drafting staff that employs the latest version of Computer Aided Design technology. The drafting department works closely with the production floor to make certain that the product designs are easily processed and assembled.

4

Engineering

The models created in the design process allow for 2D and 3D representation and assembly of components digitally, before manufacturing begins. Our CAD systems are directly linked to software programming packages exclusively tailored to complement the machines we use, resulting in a superior finished product. Once the drawings are completed for the project, they are sent to the fabrication department where the gathering of materials begins.

Installation

BHI’s manufacturing and installation teams promise top troubleshooting capabilities in order to meet deadlines and deliver on schedule. Every single project is carried out and carefully inspected by a BHI specialist to make sure the highest standards of quality control are met. Finally, your fabricated products are transported to the job site where they will be installed by our well-trained field technicians.

Social & Environmental Responsibility

In an effort to reduce our environmental impact, BHI utilizes energy efficient technologies such as low-voltage LED lighting. We also practice the sustainable utilization of natural resources. Using FSC certified wood veneers ensures the proper management of our world’s forests. And with a mind towards eliminating harmful wastes, we use low-VOC adhesives and a water-based paint system. Most importantly, however, BHI uses only CLASS A fire-rated materials in our products, which meet and often exceed code. And we carefully engineer the mounting of laminated safety glass in your designs. Nothing is more important than the protection of our customers, and all design decisions and choices of materials stem from that priority.
